I saw this a few days ago. Some very neat and clever stuff out there. I’m liking the wheel Motors particularly.Wow!
I’d like a set of those wheels, erm tracks, no wheels, erm tracks
Which is why I’m liking them…When you have a (separate) electric motor driving each wheel, differentials and difflocks will be redundant.
that has been addressed by some companies, I think Jaguar is one, they use an internal combusion engine to act like a generator to charge the batteries where needed, which then power the individual motors on the wheels.I get your point but on the other hand, all 4 of your "engines" would have to fail before you were left stranded in the middle of nowhere......
I would think that with the torque characteristics of electric motors, they would suit off road vehicles very well?
The elephant in the room, currently is recharging but I'm sure that in a few years, we will get over those issues too.
Oh you got that too then moggy, I hate that American speak, never use one word where ten will do. But a very interesting vehicle all the same.Did she swallow a bullshit pill!!

That’s a beast, I wonder what the fuel useage is relative to a similar traditionally powered truckOn a slightly larger scale : https://www.siemens.com/innovation/...tric-mobility-world-s-largest-dump-truck.html
